Caramels

Caramels come to life in many ways in plant-based desserts, from quick and soft date caramels to dulce de leche-style cooked caramels and raw set caramels. The principle is very much the same as in classic baking. Caramels consist of sugars and fats that caramelize into something rich and wonderful. These caramels can be used as part of a recipe, like in the nut butter bars, or as a sauce. Here are some base recipes for you to explore.
